National Game Awards 2018/19 in association with Buildbase: Fieldturf Manager of the Year

Last year’s winner was John Askey after the now Port Vale boss performed heroics to guide Macclesfield into the Football League

National Game Awards

Who would be a manager? They are the first to get stick when the going gets tough and in an age of impatient chairmen are often under extreme pressure as soon as they sign on the dotted line!
It is because of these tricky circumstances that any manager who achieves success should be celebrated, which is why we have set aside a manager of the year award.
The award, sponsored by Fieldturf, will be handed out at our annual National Game Awards in association with Buildbase at Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge on Tuesday May 14 and we want to hear who you think should get it!
Last year’s winner was John Askey after the now Port Vale boss performed heroics to guide Macclesfield into the Football League, despite battling with a tight budget and beginning pre-season with just a handful of first team players at his disposal.
This year promises to be an extremely tough choice with a number of high calibre contenders to pick form.
Tim Flowers has confounded all expectations to place Solihull Moors right in the middle of the title race, as has Simon Weaver, who is looking to power his Harrogate Town side to back-to-back promotions.
Or, how about Jim Gannon, who took Stockport County to the FA Trophy semi-finals as well as a tantalising duel at the top of the National League North with Chorley.
These are just a few suggestions so if you have someone else in mind then place your vote now!

  • Postponed games have disappeared

    FANS’ FORUM WHAT on earth has happened to the results on the Step 3&4 league websites this season? For some strange reason, matches in recent weeks that have been postponed or abandoned – such was the NPL East game between Brighouse Town and Lincoln United on Wednesday night – have...

    ‘I am The Secret Footballer’ – Dave Kitson ends football’s longest guessing game

    For years, football fans played detective. Every new “Secret Footballer” column dropped like a clue. The voice was too inside to be a journalist. Too sharp to be a club statement. Too honest to be anyone with a contract still to protect. Now the guessing is over...

  • July matches could ease a winter backlog

    FANS’ FORUM WITH the weather getting wetter and warmer each year, surely something needs to change in the football calendar. Unfortunately, I fear that the leagues and FA are so loathe to change anything as we continue to battle through a backlog of fixtures at the end of each season....
